Shiny Video Review: Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset
Admittedly Bluetooth headsets aren’t the most thrilling of products to review, so we made a good call getting Zara to do the video for it. I think I could watch her reviewing toast and still be entertained!
The headset features an improved antenna and microphone due to the extended shape, plus has DPS technology for noise cancellation and voice clarification. Out…
Wholly unimportant world first – band streams live show through Facebook
Brilliant news. We doubt anyone noticed, but brilliant news all the same.
The no-doubt popular-on-the-internet band RedBoxBlue has made the claim, reckoning that its series of streaming video performances currently being shown on Facebook are indeed a world first.
It’s not 100% live, though – they’re only beaming taped…
Shiny Video Review Exclusive: Acer Aspire One sub-notebook
Dan and I were the first people in the world yesterday to get hold of the Aspire One sub-notebook, which was announced on Tuesday. We used it for the majority of the day, and were deeply impressed with how ‘grown-up’ it was in comparison to the Eee.
Check it out in the video above, and if you’d like to get your fingerprints all over that glossy exterior, you’ll have to save up £199 for the Linux version, or £299 for the Windows XP version, which both launch in July….
Chunky Nokia cameraphone patent discovered, looks a bit retro, N85 coming?
There’s something chunky and slightly retro about the latest patent to escape from Nokia. The slider phone itself looks reasonably up-to-date, but that swivelling camera on top is decidedly blocky, and either fell out of a Duplo set or travelled forward in time about three decades. (OK it could’ve come off a Nokia N90.)
Nevertheless, the potential specs are 21st century enough, with the rotatable camera snapping a minimum of five megapixel images, if not six…
Shiny Video Review: Fujifilm J50 digital camera
Fujifilm’s J50 digital camera has just been released, after first being spotted a couple of months ago. Measuring 23mm thick, it has a 5x optical zoom and 8.2-megapixels, plus 15 pre-programmed shooting modes. If you fancy one after Zara’s review above, pick one up for £97 from PC World…
Shiny Video Review: Creative Vado camcorder
Joining the battle between Disgo and Flip, Creative has launched the Vado camcorder, which will set you back £79.99 for…well, what is definitely a budget camcorder which takes video in a 640 x 480 resolution and is available in silver or hot pink from next month at PC World…
Shiny Video Review: LG KF700 mobile phone
There’s a 3″ touchscreen display, alpha-numeric keypad and shortcut dial for the most-used functions. HSDPA, a 3.0-megapixel camera, and MPEG4 video player round off some of the more notable specs – check out what Susi thinks of it in the video review, above…
Shiny Video Preview: SuperSmoker electronic cigarette
This video is hilarious, as most Zara videos are. We’ve seen her review countess vibrators and sex toys, but nothing compares to seeing her puff away on the SuperSmoker electronic cigarette. They’re legal to smoke indoors, and cost £79. Watch the video, I implore you – it’s bloody amazing, albeit hearing her say ‘smoking is cool’ makes me rather alarmed…
Shiny Video Review: Nikon's S52 and S52c digital cameras
Early April saw the launch of these two cameras from Nikon, which are almost exactly the same as each other – except for a small bulge added to the side of the S52c, which gives it Wi-Fi capabilities.
You can upload to Flickr, or to Nikon’s very own social-networking/photo-sharing site, PictureTown. I’m hoping it’s just like Funky Town, only with less Lipps Inc. Pick…
Shiny Video Review: budget camcorder from Flip
Georgia and Susi have been really busy of late, trying out the Flip camcorder. Of course, that involves filming people in the office doing silly things, hence we’ve all taken to wearing paper bags over our heads to avoid embarrassing ourselves any further.
Have a look above at their opinion…
